A wealthy Park Avenue lawyer/art collector falls in love with a male gigolo named Action. Action lives on the edge-keeping unscrupulous company. One of Action's friends becomes jealous of Action's wealthy client--with murderous intent.
Exhorter Portrait of a Street Gigolo. Alan Baxter wrote and directed this powerful film. Art collector Kingston Watson is a father, frustrated husband and a successful lawyer who lives, yes, but isn't really alive--until he meets a young man named Action. Action, also nick-named "White Boy" is handsome and bursting with life. Kingston cannot deny the attraction he feels for this New York City stripper. The ache in Kingston's soul leads him to Action's heart. But even a heart, as young as Action's, struggles to accept the life he should be (but is not) living. This sensitive portrait of lust, aspirations, greed and murder was magnificently photographed by Ron Gaither with an impressive music score by Robby Allan. Exhorter: Portrait of a Street Gigolo is loosely based on Alan Baxter's successful play, Juan and Emmett. Featuring Sal Anzalone, Zach Stoppert and a strong supporting cast including Kevin Shivcharran, Josephine Pomies, Stephen Anthony and Merc Gaither. Film is seductive without being pornographic.
